When The Children Cry Lyrics
Little child dry your crying eyes
How can I explain the fear you feel inside
'Cause you were born into this evil world
Where man is killing man and no one knows just why
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
When the children cry let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
Little child you must show the way
To a better day for all the young
'Cause you were born for all the world to see
That we all can live with love and peace
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God
When the children cry let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God
When the children cry let them know we tried
When the children fight let them know it ain't right
When the children pray let them know the way
'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
How can I explain the fear you feel inside
'Cause you were born into this evil world
Where man is killing man and no one knows just why
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
To a better day for all the young
'Cause you were born for all the world to see
That we all can live with love and peace
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God
'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
All that we destroyed you must build again
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God
When the children fight let them know it ain't right
When the children pray let them know the way
'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

HAHAHA The Scorpions weren't that great.... This is soo much better than Winds of Change .....
I concur and agree with this " General Comment " speaker. It's exactly how you describe things happening today in spite of the far left's comments going against your views. And by the way, Scorpions rocked and I love everything they wrote and sang.
This generation today has no idea what they speak of but they sure know how to twist what they see and think based on their entitlement attitudes, of course, coached by parents who were living in the darkness of trophies.
i love this song its so sad
This song would be good to put on the radio now in times like these.
Obviously an anti-war song, and a really good one.
Umm, no, this disc was released in 1987. But good try. Thus, communism still reigned, Germany was two different colours on a map while the Soviet Union was one, and--though I can appreciate the stretch--The Scorpions resembled the band only in hair volume.
@fishbone Actually the song "When the Children Cry" was released on the "Fight to Survive" album released November 9, 1985.

I love this Song....
this is a song you play at a childs funeral.
I love this song!!! More people should comment on it. Wow there should be more of White Lion songs on, I love them.
my uncle dedicated this song to me when my mom was still pregnant. it means a lot to me... i can never listen to it without crying.
I like this song mostly because the older generation is realizing that they were not perfect. That bad things happen all the time, and they are hoping that knewer generations can see the mistakes and help fix them,and they are probably wanting us realize whats right so that we dont make things worse for the generations that are to come after us... thats just my veiw
